It’s over, folks. President Trump and congressional Republicans aimed to pass the reconciliation package by July 4, and they succeeded. It was a tumultuous journey, as there were more than a few Republicans who tried to make a spectacle, causing unnecessary drama throughout the procedural phase, but it’s now over. The House passed the big, beautiful bill, which means the Trump tax cuts are made permanent, illegals are kicked off Medicaid, and the immigration enforcement agenda is fully funded. The border was secure, and it will remain safe.
The bill passed after Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), aka dehydrated Derek Jeter, wasted everyone's time for over eight hours railing against the bill.

Vote still open on Big, Beautiful Bill. But the GOP has the votes to pass the bill. They are at the magic number of 217 with a House population of 432 mbrs. Only 1 GOP mbr has not voted yet. That's GOP SC Rep Norman.

2 GOP Noes on the board now. GOP PA Rep Fitzpatrick votes no. So he and GOP KY Rep Massie are the only nays. GOP can only lose 3 votes and still pass the bill

The legislation now heads to Trump’s desk for signature.
Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX) and the rest of the House GOP caucus, which understood what was happening, took a victory lap and praised the ushering in of the new American golden age:
From the moment President Trump was re-elected, the Republican Study Committee fought tirelessly with conservatives in and beyond the halls of Congress to shape this historic reconciliation process. As a result of that relentless effort, our members secured transformational provisions that advance the RSC's core policy priorities and cement President Trump's America First agenda. We delivered historic tax relief for working families, unprecedented border security investments, unleashed American energy dominance, and massive cuts to wasteful federal spending. After years of failed policies, we stepped up to put Americans first and fulfilled our promises.
On July 4th, 2025, we will return power to where it belongs—with the American people. This Independence Day will mark the beginning of America's Golden Age.
What a way to kick off Independence Day Weekend.
